If New Delhi can be clean & green, why not every city in India?
Clean air, better roads, proper waste management — this shouldn’t be a privilege of one.
And honestly, why aren’t we as citizens more accountable too?

Cheese from India makes its mark globally…
India made an impressive debut at the Mundial do Queijo do Brasil 2026, which is a vibrant international competition for cheese and dairy products. Four Indian products won medals, including 1 Super Gold, 2 Golds and 1 Silver.
The Super Gold was won by Eleftheria Gulmarg (Brie Style), the Golds were won by Yak Churpi-Soft, Nordic Farm, Leh, Ladakh and Eleftheria Brunost (Whey Cheese) while the Silver was won by Eleftheria Kaali Miri (Belper Knolle Style). Congratulations to Mausam Narang and Thenlay Nurboo.
Such successes strengthen India’s artisanal dairy sector on the world stage.
I must confess that until recently I had never heard of Phool Dei, a spring festival that was celebrated yesterday in the villages of Uttarakhand.
Children gather fresh flowers from the hills and go from house to house placing them on doorsteps, offering a blessing for the household:
“Phool Dei, Chhamma Dei,
Deni Dwar, Bhar Bhakar…” roughly wishing the home prosperity.
In return they receive sweets.
It reminded me a little of Halloween in the U.S., where children go door to door saying “trick or treat.” But what a lovely contrast. Here the children arrive not threatening a prank, or asking first, but giving first. Flowers.
In an age when we speak so much about environmental consciousness, this graceful celebration of spring and nature deserves to be far more widely known.
Just as Holi travelled across India and the world, perhaps Phool Dei should too.
For me, the children of Uttarakhand are my #MondayMotivation
Coming back to Delhi from Wayanad where the air is beautiful and the AQI is 35, was like entering a gas chamber. The blanket of smog is even more shocking when seen from the air.
Delhi’s pollution gets worse every year. We really should put our heads together and find a solution for cleaner air. It’s beyond this party or that, it’s practically impossible to breathe especially for kids, elders and those with respiratory issues. We just have to do something about it.
It’s been 18 days since Diwali now and the AQi is crossing maximum limit. The AQI on the next day of Diwali in Delhi was around 300 and 18 days later the situation is just worst. The politicians keep banning Diwali crackers to control pollution when they very well know that it’s not the crackers, it’s the stubble burning which chokes Delhi-NCR during November-December. Yet, these politicians do absolutely nothing about the causes behind this pollution.
Most of the politicians’ kids study in some IB school abroad and they themselves live in Lutyens, surrounded by lush greens and expensive air purifiers even in their toilets. They give absolute zero f***s about the common citizens.
They know that the public will cry for a few days and then they’ll get used to it, like every year in the past. They will do gimmicks of Odd-even or shutting down schools or spraying water by cannons to reduce pollution but we all know, it’s just done near spots where AQI readers are installed, to fool the reports. When the common citizens keep breathing toxic air which is reducing their life span by more than a decade. Little kids and elderly are unable to breathe, there’s coughing everywhere. But these politicians are busy blaming one another.
And let’s accept it, this post is going to do absolutely nothing. No matter how much you share this post, it’ll bring zero difference, the people in power won’t care.
So the purpose of posting this placard today is to remind you all that you are just a mere vote bank for these politicians. You keep choosing them over petty freebies and in return they’re giving you toxic air to breathe and foam filled water to drink.
This is China. They solved their pollution. Do you think it’s possible in a Democracy, where vote bank politics is supreme? Everybody voting on caste and religious lines. Farmers will burn parali again, and this year they will March into Delhi to strangulate the roads as well. Mera bharat mahaan!
We don’t need free electricity; what we truly need is clean air. In 2015, both Delhi and Beijing faced similar pollution challenges, but Beijing has made significant progress, while we are still relying on short-term measures. Instead of playing the blame game,

हिंदुस्तान डर का देश नहीं है।
हमारे सभी महापुरुषों ने अहिंसा की बात की, डर मिटाने की बात की।
नरेंद्र मोदी, भाजपा और RSS पूरा हिंदू समाज नहीं हैं- जो हिंसा और नफ़रत फैलाता है, वो हिंदू हो ही नहीं सकता।
